For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in Cajun seasoning for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Feel free to add other vegetables to the dish, such as zucchini, yellow squash, or spinach. If you don't have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or vegetable broth. For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before adding the pasta. Serve with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
